I've been doing it on Monday and it works well. I just take the days off as unpaid days in the leave system so I can request a different day whenever I want or when Monday is a public holiday.

> I can definitely see a point to making it Wednesday

You probably agree a lot with CGP Grey on this video[1]

I really liked when Cloudera did "unplug days" which basically threw in an extra day off every 3 weeks and a double extra off every 3 months, but it was a Friday so there was always the temptation to drive out somewhere or go do something for 3 days.

If it had been Wednesdays, we'd have just slept and relaxed instead.

Friday or Monday allow us to plan better for longer activities. 3 days makes a weekend trip super smooth and easy to pull off.

Having Wednesday off, I would find it harder to disconnect.
